WASH Emergency and Recovery Project – Jajarkot District

PSDN is implementing a WASH Emergency and Recovery Project in Ward No. 3 of Barikot Rural Municipality, Jajarkot District, to restore and improve access to safe drinking water and dignified sanitation services for disaster-affected communities. The project targets 250 households, benefiting approximately 1,125 people, through the rehabilitation of damaged drinking water supply systems and sanitation facilities.

Key interventions include the construction and upgrading of 60 improved household toilets and the installation of 24 rainwater harvesting systems to address water scarcity and enhance household-level water security. The project prioritizes vulnerable and marginalized families, ensuring inclusive and equitable access to essential WASH services.

Implemented with financial and technical support from the IAPMO–IWASH Foundation, USA, the initiative contributes to improved public health, resilience, and recovery while strengthening community capacity for sustainable WASH management in post-emergency settings.
